America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 255: Brutal comparison, the reputation of "American Idol" collapsed

Beverly Hills, Cooper's House.

The little nanny Lisa brought Eric a glass of warm milk. She was also paying attention to the recent news and knew that something big had happened at MGM. Eric had not been home for the past few days.

Although he often didn't go home at night or came back very late in the evening, this was the first time he did it so frequently as recently.

"He must work overtime until late every night, and then he can only rest in the company. He is such a poor person. I really want to hold him in my arms and comfort him."

Watching Eric eat the food quickly, Lisa understood that it was because he was worried, and no matter how delicious the food was, it was tasteless.

After breakfast, Eric stretched his back and let out a sigh of relief.

There was a lot of pressure these days. In order to relax his mind, he could only sleep with a few more women every day to relieve it.

I have no choice, I am a simple and pure person, my life is boring and single, I can only choose these few hobbies.

It’s so sad to think about how rich you are!

However, even with the nourishment of supplements, my body was unable to bear it for several days in a row, so I could only go home and rest last night.

It's good to be young. When I wake up, the feeling of fatigue is gone, and I only feel that I can fight for another 300 rounds.

When I came to the company, although today was Sunday, some people still insisted on going to work during this special period.

He felt the change in the atmosphere from the moment he entered. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles as before, and the tension that had lasted for half a month was gone.

As Eric said, what the company needs most now is a victory.

The popularity of Lionheart is like a shot in the arm, injecting new vitality and confidence into MGM.

For more than a year, Eric has led them to re-emerge, and now everyone is even more convinced that there will be nothing wrong with following his footsteps.

Arriving at the office, Carol had already made coffee.

She did not wear business attire today, but changed into a hip-hugging one-piece bodysuit. Her hair was not tied up as usual, but was hung messily on her shoulders. There was also a pair of black glasses on the bridge of her nose.

I don’t know how this dress was designed. It covered her buttocks at the bottom but was slit at the top. A pair of big breasts were very prominent.

Seeing Carol's outfit, Eric was stunned for a moment. Although there are not many people on weekends, this is a company. Are you sure you are dressed appropriately?

But thinking this way, he couldn't help but stay on the other person's body for several seconds.

"So rich and generous, and so eye-catching!"

After sighing, Eric said: "Carol, you are smiling very happily. Did anything good happen to you?"

"Yes, boss, it's a good thing, absolutely a great thing. Just look at the news. "American Idol" has been scolded badly."

Carol took two steps forward to answer, and the scent of a mature woman instantly hit her face.

"No, she wants to dribble past someone, should I steal it?"

"Asshole! Wake up!"

Pushing the lustful thoughts out of his mind, Eric turned on the computer: "What's going on?"

"Well, I have a bit of an impression."

"Justin Timberlake was not in the promotional video, and viewers thought Fox had cut him out, but after the show aired last night, everyone discovered it was all fake."

"Justin Timberlake not only sat on the judges' table, but he was the one who had the most scenes. He did a lot of talking and a lot of interaction."

"The audience is angry, they feel cheated, and now they are scolding Fox and the program team."

Carol laughed loudly as she spoke, and her big boobs jumped up and down with the laughter, which was very dishonest. They were in urgent need of a pair of strong hands to teach them the rules.

The computer entered the homepage, and Eric was about to click on Yahoo.

Carol shook her head, reached out to hold Eric's hand, and moved the mouse to another place.

"Boss, it's not this. The main battlefield is at Fox's official website."

Eric frowned slightly. This action obviously went beyond the duties of a secretary. This bitch had impure motives.

But before he could say anything, Carol had already taken his hand away as if nothing had happened and smiled apologetically.

"The skin on my hands is a little rough. Since Ron passed away, I have to do all the lawn mowing and water pipe repairs by myself. That's really not a job that a woman should do."

Eric's attention returned to Fox's official website interface, he found the message section, swiped it and immediately burst into laughter.

Negative reviews, scolding, complaints

It was almost entirely filled with abuse. I looked down and saw that there were hundreds of pages.

He directly clicked on the last page. It was a previous message, not a curse.

I turned forward again, until I reached more than fifty pages, and finally saw the first negative comment.

"American Idol still has that scumbag Justin, bad reviews, goodbye!"

I looked at the time and saw that it was left at 8:10 last night, which meant that the show had only started for ten minutes and the complaints had already started.

"Trash show paired with trash people will ruin Fox's goodwill!"

"Everyone must not watch "American Idol". It's a complete fraud. They didn't delete Justin Timberlake's scenes at all."

"I declare that the biggest TV scam of the millennium has been born since Sharknado. The difference is that Sharknado can make us happy, while American Idol can only make us sick!"

"What the hell are the show crew doing! Why are they still keeping that guy Justin? Is he Murdoch's ancestor?"

"To be fair and objective, "American Idol" generally continues the style and level of the first season. Simon is still interesting, Randy Jackson and Eminem are also quite satisfactory, but Justin Timberlake is definitely the biggest failure, and it ends like this. Bar."

"Warning, there is a scumbag!"

"I not only want to give negative reviews to "American Idol", but also give positive reviews to "The Voice." After finishing half a season of "The Voice" during the day, the contrast is simply too strong."

"I agree with you upstairs. After watching "The Voice", I will watch "American Idol". I dare to say that even if the latter is perfect, it will definitely not be the opponent of the former. The variety show format of "The Voice" has far surpassed "American Idol". Leave it behind.”

"The Voice is so damn good. I love Bruno Mars so much. He may not be handsome, but he sings so charmingly."

"Katy Perry is the real god. It's hard to imagine that a young girl who has just grown up can sing so well. Her explosive power is stronger than many famous singers, at least much better than Randy Jackson and Eminem. "

"Xilin's performance is equally amazing. When white people rap, I seem to see another ruffian Eminem. Art Records simply signed him and asked him to beat Eminem."

"Am I the only one who likes Taylor Swift? Although this little girl's singing skills are not as good as Katy Perry's, I just like her."

"I also like Taylor. Let's spread the word. Taylor has opened a Facebook account. Please follow it quickly."

"Hahaha, the Big Six still want to encircle and suppress MGM, and this is the method they use? It's just ridiculous."

“Eric Cooper is awesome!”

Starting from page 55, it is estimated that at least 10,000 people have gone to Fox’s official website to leave messages.

Either give a negative review or praise "The Voice".

Listening to everyone praise your opponent on your own territory is probably the most painful thing in the world.

Carol's eyes almost turned into crescent moons: "Boss, look at the time shown in the last message is 9:12 pm, which means that in just one hour, "American Idol" was criticized by at least tens of thousands of people."

"Furthermore, Fox was still deleting the post at first, but then there were so many people scolding them that they couldn't delete it. In the end, they had to close the comments, which made people laugh to death."

"Now, not only the official Fox website, but also many forums and chat rooms are criticizing the fraud of "American Idol", which has aroused public outrage."

Eric opened Rotten Tomatoes again, and the freshness score was only 46%. You must know that this represents public taste. Only when it reaches 75% freshness can it prove that a work is recognized by the public.

The freshness of the first season of "American Idol" is 96%, a full 50% difference, and this is only the first day. With the increase in the number of ratings, it is conceivable that there is still a lot of room for decline.

Looking at the score of "The Voice" again, it reached a terrifying 99%. Some people must have scored high to deliberately disgust "American Idol", but it also proves the excellence of "The Voice".

Then there is imdb, another score that makes people laugh like pigs. "American Idol" only got 1 point, which still has a lot of room for decline.

On the other hand, "The Voice" received a super high score of 7. Even though the ratings of variety shows have always been more tolerant than movies, this score still shocked many people's jaws.

After taking a long breath, Eric sneered: "I originally thought that "American Idol" could at least struggle a little bit. It seems that I overestimated Fox."

Picked up the phone and dialed Maikou's number.

"Maiko, what are you doing? Are you paying attention to the news?"

A child's laughter sounded across the street, and Eric knew it was from Paris.

Nowadays, those who go to Neverland to play are usually his friends. Strange children must be investigated before being released to avoid causing further trouble.

Although it is a bit regretful, the prerequisite for doing charity is to protect your own safety, and no one will have any objection to this.

"Uncle Cooper, when are you coming to my house to play?" a childish voice said.

"Paris? Little cutie, do you miss me?"

"Yes, today is the weekend. I don't have to go to school. Come and play with me. Bring sister Elizabeth with you."

"I'm afraid it's not very convenient today. Elizabeth is busy with work."

"But you haven't been here for a long time." Paris' tone was a little disappointed.

"Do you think I'll bring a few more friends to accompany you next week?"

"Okay, then we agreed and we are not allowed to change!"

"We agreed not to change! Where is your father?"

"He's in the kitchen, Dad (broken voice), it's Uncle Cooper's number."

Soon, Maikou's voice came from the phone.

"Eric, I'm sorry. I was studying the recipe I brought back from China last time. What's wrong?"

"American Idol is over, you know that?"

"Hahahaha of course. I was watching the news last night. Fox made a ridiculously wrong decision. Instead of continuing to broadcast it, it is better to hide this season. At least the reputation will not collapse to this extent!"

"Fox would like to, but unfortunately it can't! If it really does this, what will the advertisers do? How will the players explain themselves? They will have to pay a lot of money."

"What's more, six of them joined forces to attack MGM and retreated in the first battle. What do your teammates think? What do outsiders think?"

"Fox is riding a tiger with a hard time getting off. He is stuck in the middle and feels uncomfortable at both ends. He has to do it if he doesn't want to, but this fraud is too low-level."

"Then what do you think Fox will do next? Admit his mistake? This can save some people's hearts."

"Admit your mistake? Absolutely impossible!" Eric said sarcastically.

"Michael, do you think that old bastard like Murdoch will admit his mistakes? He is a media tycoon who can turn clouds and rain with his hands and manipulate the public. Asking him to admit his mistakes is like asking Clinton not to steal. Let Hawking stand up, let alone a variety show."

"You're right, it seems that "American Idol" is likely to come to an end."

"I think he died suddenly on the way!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

"There are still many people asking for the full version to be released like a film and television drama. Everyone wants to watch the follow-up quickly."

"Besides, what you said came true."

"Has the advertiser contacted the company?" Eric's eyes lit up. He called specifically for this matter.

"Yes, the finals of "The Voice" are still left, and this one will be broadcast live. Someone asked a friend to contact me this morning, hoping to place advertisements in the finals."

"What did you say? You didn't agree."

"Of course not. Now we are so powerful. When the semi-finals are broadcast, the price will definitely go up to a sky-high price."

"Yes, hang on to those businessmen. We must give them a lot of money for the advertisements for the finals and make back all the money we missed earlier!"

Advertising prices in the United States are highest with the Super Bowl. The average price of a 30-second Super Bowl ad this year is US$2.3 million, and about 50 of these ads are generally sold.

In other words, just relying on advertising revenue, a Super Bowl can reach a terrifying more than 100 million.

In terms of TV series, NBC's "Friends" is in its final season this year. The TV station has already announced the advertising price for the final episode. If the price is less than US$1.8 million, the average price is expected to reach US$2 million.

The final episode of Friends is expected to be watched by about 35 million people. The Super Bowl is even more exaggerated, with almost 80 million people watching it. There is a reason why it is so expensive.

"The Voice" is still one and a half months away from the finals, so it depends on how many viewers it can accumulate.

There is no need to surpass "Friends" because the advertising on cable channels is naturally higher than that on public channels.

Who makes public channels free? There are many viewers, but not necessarily many people who are willing to pay. Cable channels require money to watch, and businessmen value this more.
